San Jose’s Jones Comes up Big in Super Bowl

James Jones rose up from humble beginnings in San Jose to become a Super Bowl champion on Sunday.

It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then a local kid accomplishes his dreams and reaches the pinnacle of his profession. For James Jones, a Gunderson High and San Jose State graduate, that moment came Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

While Jones wasn’t the star of Sunday’s game, there is no doubting he was critical to the Packers’ success. And the best part, of course, is every time he is introduced, it won’t be as “NFL receiver James Jones;” it will be “Super Bowl champion James Jones.”
